Unrated does not necessarily mean uncut. Unrated refers to a version of a film that hasn't been reviewed by a ratings board, like the MPAA. Uncut means the film is presented in its original form without any scenes removed. An unrated film might include additional scenes or content that was not in the rated version, but it isn't automatically the uncut version.
